Read about Msgr. Sebastian Kneipp, 1821-1897, Pope Leo XIII's physician, who pioneered the health benefits of cold water baths (hydrotherapy). See his: My Water Cure as Tested Through More Than Thirty Years and Described for the Healing of Diseases and the Preservation of Health (TradiBooks reprint).

He also had Leo XIII drinking cocaine, and that always helps too.  :laugh1:  I wish I could get some of that.

"His Holiness..writes that he has fully appreciated the beneficent effects of this tonic wine" :laugh1: Maybe RFK jr. can do us a solid and get it back on the market

Hey, looks like they're back in business.  If it's good enough for His Holiness Leo XIII, it's good enough for me.  I wonder how much of the old secret ingredient it still has.  It does say it's white wine and coca leaf extract (I just hope they don't extract out the active ingredient).

From the Wiki article ...

Quote
Pope Leo XIII purportedly carried a hipflask of Vin Mariani with him, and awarded a Vatican gold medal to Angelo Mariani.


Pope Leo XIII was about, oh, 123 years old, and still writing an Encyclical once per week ... and that's not too much of a hyperbole.
